SJ ' -J It is tohl of a late missionary to Turkey, that finding his converts proscribed in their relations as business men, by the authorities of the church which they had left, he borrowed-ten thousand dollars, brtugh^ a Hour nfill, find engaged in the making' of bread, in order to give employment to his neophytes. The bread lie manufactured proved so'much superior to that generally sold at Constantinople?for it was there thtit ho sought hi* > maiket?that, before long, he had so" faVge A demand for it as to give a livelihood to ( nearly all- his CofiVferfs. When the Eastern war broke out, and the British tio>ps landed at Scutarf, good bread could not at first l?b had far the aoldiei*. In this emergency, the missionary stepped forward and ottered to contract to furnish bread to the English, His tender was accepted and a contract signed, The Sultan, finding what good bread was made' fdr the British army, sent for the bakers. whosunnlied his own aVnl ertinnotl. ' # i r ; ' Y" " ed them to imitate the missionary. In the two yeftra of the war, the mill, thus begun to feed ft few converts, earned thousands of dollars, which have been worthily dedicated, wo believe, 10 building school houses iu Turkey. The same Missionary visiting the barracks at Scutari, found the soldiers dying thore l?v hundreds, and so little caro taken of them ? this was before Miss Nightingale's arrival? that their linen orton remained unchanged for weeks, lie found also that the rcfusW clothes were c.ast into a separate apartment, w'lleco they"lay festering, lotting and tainting llio atinosplrero. lie risked why this was. The British authorities answered that they could get nobody to wash the clothes, for fear of infection. He oB'cred immediately to lindenAke tlie job. Bnt the prejudices bf the Turks proved grater than even he, who' had lived among thciri'tor eighteen years, Imd heeti let! to expect.! They cried out, when they saw clothes, k'The plague, the'plague," and refused to work. In -this crisis, ho invented a rude washing machine, which he fixed on the side of a running [ stream, so that the articles might be partially | washed without the Intervention of hand labor After this there was no difficulty. Tire la j bor saving washing machine of the Yankee Missionary is still in use at Scutari, and will 'probably remain so, while there is washing to he done, even though the original necessity for it has passed away. [Philadcljthia Ledger. I he flqiilroflO Snginceh. The life of a railroad engineer is graphically depicted in the following extract, wluch is copied from the Schenectady Star : " Hut the engineer, he who guides the train by guiding the iron horse, and ahnosf holds the lives of passengeis in his hands? his is a lifo of mingled danger aud pleasure, fti a little scven-by'nine apartment, with square holes on each side for windows, open behind, and with machinery to look through ahead,'you find him ; he is the " Pathfinder"? he lends the way in-all times of danger, checks the iron horse, or causes it to speed ahead with the velocity of the wind at will;' Have you'ever striod by the track, of a dark night, and watched the coming and passing of a 'train ? Away off in the j darkness you discover a light, and you hear a noise, and the earth trembles under your feet. The light comes noarer ; you can compare it to nothing hut the devil himself, with its terrible whistle; the sparks, you imagine, come"from Bclzebub's nostrils ; the fire tindementi), that shines close to the ground, causing you to believe the devil walks on live coals. It comes close to you ; you back away and shudder; you lookup, and, al most on the devil's.back, rides the engineer ; perhaps the "machine" shrieks, and you imagine the engineer is Applying spur to the devil'* ?i?W. ,! . i V A dnning fellow, tlmt ongineer; yon can't help, saying so, and you wonder wherein lies the pleasure of being an engineer. But so lie does, day niter day, night after night. Moonlight evenings he sweeps over the country?through cities and vilhiges-^-ihrough miry scenes iu forest ni.a eicarmga; he l??<>ks through the square holes at his side1, and en*' joys the moonlight, but he cannot stop to 1 eiijoy the beauty of the scenery. Cold, rainy, uuiddy, dark nightarit is the same ; perhaps the tracks are undermined, or over flown v/ith water; perhaps scoundrels hare placed obstruction in the way, or trees been overturned across the track, and in either case ft is almost iiutant death to him, at; least, but lie stops not.
